But you won't see me acting silly saying that a 5 minute google search has given me all the information I need to debunk something that minds far superior and far more dedicated than me have devloped over (often) generations.
I may not have specialized knowledge on some of these subjects, but I am far from a novice, my friend

It isn't blind..it is 20/20 arrogance

But hey, let's recognise the fact that it's you who are dismissing the evidence that is given to you as a rebuttal or indeed the evidence of theories that you are rejecting and giving nothing back but unsupported assertions and claims.
Please enlighten me on what evidence I've dismissed?

Please enlighten me on what subjects I've been shown to not understand.

It sounds like you are on the verge of committing the genetic fallacy. Even if I do get my arguments from apologists websites, so what? It doesn't matter where I got them from, what matters is the truth value. So instead of concerning yourself with where I got it from, how about trying to refute the arguments for a change? Second, for the most part, no apologist alive today has "patented" arguments...every argument that apologists use have been revolutionized from past defenders of theism. So if I get my arguments from today's apologists, that is because they got the same argument from yesterdays apologists. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Third, not only do I present the arguments, but I DEFEND the arguments. I actually know how to defend anything that I present, which I think is evident on here.
I've had years and years (in my early apologetic journey) of being stumped by wise atheists..and every time I got knocked on my ass, I learned from it...gotten smarter, wiser, and clever...and became my own "man" when it comes to defending the faith.

What odd quotation from WLC? Where?

There was a bigger point that I was making, and I can understand why you chose to ignore it.

Above you accused me of making "unsupported assertions and claims", and here you are down here making the assertion that the Exodus never happened. That is an unsupported claim, sir.

Another unsupported claim.

Yet, another one.

I don't expect you to understand or realise just how badly your arguments have been deconstructed and dismantled on this thread, but I suspect a lot of the members and indeed lurkers have had a good time reading through this train wreck.
Yeah, lets have them continue to lurk..they might learn something
